The CobraTec CTK-1 delivers reliable out-the-front deployment with a compact 2.75-inch blade engineered for tactical applications and everyday carry. This dual-action OTF knife combines D2 steel cutting performance with practical features that address real-world cutting demands.
What Makes This Different
The CTK-1 features a dual-action mechanism that allows both deployment and retraction with the same thumb slide, eliminating the need for manual blade closure. The partially serrated D2 steel blade provides superior edge retention compared to standard stainless steel options, maintaining sharpness through extended use. The stonewashed aluminum handle construction reduces weight while providing enhanced grip texture and corrosion resistance.

Field testing demonstrates consistent blade deployment across temperature ranges from 20°F to 120°F. The D2 steel composition (1.5% carbon, 12% chromium) provides hardness ratings between 58-62 HRC, delivering extended edge life in demanding cutting scenarios. The partially serrated edge configuration handles both precision cutting and aggressive material processing, from cordage to packaging materials.
